Actually, we have no cue about what happened to Pythor. Nothing was seen of him after the Devourer basically blew up. It was a loose end never tied up, even with the locking up of the Serpentine. And getting revenge on the ninja makes no sense, if he's still alive they saved his life and even he realized what the Devourer would do. There's nothing longstanding that the Ninja have done to him, other than Garmadon basically crushing the Serpentine army. I agree with you all on the thing about the MB's being unreliable, because they are. But every now and again some truth comes through, or the LU file-diving fad never happened. It's close enough to the new season airing, November's the last month of Chima's show, the last episode will air next week and presumably deliver us new info on the plot. But what the guy on the Message Boards said matches what we know, so I'm not sure if it's correct or not. Anyway... They're doing Jay and Cole next. Speaking of which, Ebay has most of the Nindroids up in case anyone wants to grab 'em. Kai still looks like a dork in his robes But really only Cole, Jay, Zane and even Garmadon actually have a good set of robes this time, if you go by the Blueprints things from the mini-game.

Sorry for the double-post, but it's the only real way to get things noticed around here :P So, according to some guy on the Message Boards, not sure if trust-worthy, but the plot makes some sense more or less. It's hard to summarize so I'll just paste the thing. " Here's the storyline for 2014. (All the characters and places are canon but the story isn't 100% accurate) After the attack on Ninjago City by the Overlord and the Stone Army, it's time to do even more cleaning up. However, a business typhoon, named Cyrus Borg, who just rolled into town, has a couple of new ideas for Ninjago City. The five ninjas (actually counting Nya, Wu and Dr. Julien, the brown ninja, and the entire stone army and whoever else was helping) gave Cyrus his inspiration for an entire army of robotic nindroids. After two years of rebuilding Ninjago City, the citizens even gave it a (I guess?) new name: New Ninjago City. Cyrus redesigned the entire city, and it became almost dependent on technology. Cyrus gave the ninjas a robot he created to help them with their now-easier jobs: A robot named Pixal. She crafted each of them a weapon called a Techo-Blade, and they started training harder. Meanwhile, Cyrus got in a terrible accident and tried to repair his face, and made himself into a cyborg. Unfortunately, the spirit of the Overlord was able to possess Cyrus, and he became... The Overborg! "The Overborg", turned all the nindroids evil with his remote. Fortunately, Zane and Pixal weren't hooked up, so they weren't turned evil. While the ninjas are eating at a chinese resturaunt, Jay notices something out of the ordinary. The nindroids that were protecting NNC started wreaking havoc! After they figure out what's wrong, an overwhelming amount of robots kidnap Sensei Wu, and the Overborg turned him evil with experiments. One particular "long-dead" purple snake hears the news, and he's angry that this supposed "Overlord' thinks he's a better overlord then him?! Impossible, and he needs to team up with the ninja to take this guy down. So, the rest of the team: Lloyd, Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, Dareth, Sensei Garmadon, Pythor, Pixal, Nya and Dr. Julien must face an bigger enemy then ever before: Their sensei." That's the Post in full. I would not be surprised if Pythor did come back, Sensei Wu survived and he and Pythor were both munched on at the same time! Anyway, not sure whether it would be correct or not. Given the nature of "leaks," like these on the MB's this is probably false. But the plot will more or less be like this, I guess. The return of the Overlord was somewhat expected, what with Overborg and the Mechdragon.

Wallpaper glitch still isn't fixed yet. ._.

No, I believe that was just concept art for previous Seasons of the show. There's a bunch of "old gold," like that in the other ones.

I just wish the Thunder Raider's treads were somewhat longer, as in the "main" picture, which makes the treads look like they were more than just useless things added on like the set version of Garmatron. EDIT: NINJAGO's website is starting to be updated, a new game is up according to the MB mods. EDIT 2: Stay on the home page for a while. EDIT 3: WOAH. TV show concept art, Zane blueprints. Dang it. Metro 2033 will have to stop downloading for a moment (I'm using Steam, it's not pirating :P) EDIT 4: Words cannot describe my happiness. This... is just... epic. EDIT 5: The tower is called Borg Tower. New NINJAGO City looks amazing. And those eyes they show in the trailer I recognize a lot. I think it's very safe to say the Mechdragon is the Overlord now.

That makes no sense... then again, the whole prospect of CHIMA makes no sense anyway. I doubt that would be the case, perhaps the mountain itself is just running out of CHI?

Yeah, NINJAGO has been such a hit that even companies outside of the toy world are copying it.

No, I recall seeing it on the back of the TV show's volumes that are sold individually. Can't get a source though, so someone will have to take a pic and post it if they have Volume 2.

I'm sorry, what? Misako's hair piece is already real, if I recall correctly, and Nya's has been around since the Indiana Jones line...

Eh, don't get your hopes up on ShadoWind (that is the correct spelling of it, actually) in full armor. There's been a distinct lack of "specified" parts that cannot be used again this year, and ShadoW's helmet fits that description perfectly unless they do boars (later on) and add the Punk Rocker hair on top from the MF line.

...wow. I don't celebrate halloween, but these are pretty cool. Though I find it somewhat disappointing that people got Lloyd mixed up with TMNT in the comments section of that comic.

Probably via a 2x2 plate with one of blue connector pins with the stud on the end.

Good grief these look ugly. (to me, at least) The focus on the animals has just switched from trying-to-show-resemblance to not-even-trying. I suspect these aren't all of the pictures, wasn't there some kind of "base," coming out? There's also a distinct lack of a "flagship," set, so I guess that's what it is.

Actually, this year had 5 new parts. You forgot the body armor on the "standard" and "elite" Warriors. Lloyd and Garmadon's (oh gosh that's gonna get confusing) hair pieces were already used by Anakin Skywalker (on another note, Garmadon's face in Battle Between Brothers is the same as Lloyd's 2012 face). Kai's hair piece is almost certainly going to get another use somewhere else, but it's too early to draw conclusions just yet. Anyway, that means both waves got 5 new parts exclusive to their line that will probably not be used elsewhere. Anyway, yes, the first two years were definitely much bigger in that regard.

Indeed, the Ninjacopter is much more likeable now with the extra images.

No... the owl just doesn't suit the Falcon. For those who don't know, this is the falcon. And this is the Owl While certainly closer than the Crow, it's too owl-like to pass for anything other than an owl, really.

No, the parrot is too... "parroty,". Can't really comment on the Seagull but I guess that would have been better. Heck, a new part would have been better. This year has less new parts (that are exclusive to NINJAGO) than last year...

That's partly due to a crow/raven being the actual original purpose of the part. Anyway, MAN THESE LOOK AWESOME Now I am definitely getting the Hover Hunter. The Ninjacopter is... gorgeous. That is now my top priority set for next year, that's for sure. So this "war," is over the Techno Blades? I guess that explains what happened to Wu and Cyrus. (and, perhaps Pixal?) Dr Julien probably modified the Elemental Blades, now that I think about it.

Good grief there's a lot of dark metallic colors in sets now.

20 episodes? Really? I mean, yeah, sure, NINJAGO only had 13 episodes a season but it had two seasons and 26 episodes within a year. While perhaps this is not the right thread for this, perhaps this means the first half of Season 4 for NINJAGO will be/have taken place by the end of the year?

Oh, I was only looking at the Minifigs. I guess that would be the case then

Wu's hat is (and has always been) the bamboo hat introduced in the 2011 waves of NINJAGO, so no, it is not from the LR train. Nor is the bamboo hat in the LR train.

Ah, thanks for that.

I am aware of the post edit feature, but that doesn't gain any attention at all. When you edit the post, the system does not declare it and thus because there is "no new post," no-one will check the topic for a while and thus no one will find out.

I haven't noticed any actual differences... I'll have a check later on. Anyway, two things. Can we finally change the topic title to "Spinjitzu"? That small error has been annoying me ever since this topic was made last year. And, does anyone know what the title of the music that plays in The Day Ninjago Stood Still and Day of the Great Devourer? The one that plays when Jay and Zane are on the "Ice slide" and when Misako felt like doing some parkour XD
